PHILIPPE MEYER

Philippe Meyer

I currently work in the BioRetroSynth group at the MICALIS Institute, a joint research unit of INRAE, AgroParisTech, and the University of Paris-Saclay, located in the Paris area, France.

I am a mathematician and data scientist working at the interface of cheminformatics and bioinformatics, with a focus on retrosynthesis, molecular design, and hybrid modeling approaches. I have also been interested in the application of mathematical methods and artificial intelligence to the study of human body shapes and ancient scripts, and I have worked on Lie superalgebras and their representation theory.
